Not to mention that trying to reduce the birth rate would address overpopulation, an issue I consider to be a far greater threat to civilization than climate change.

War is a good start on reducing overpopulation. Add in a bit of famine, unchecked disease, and destroyed housing, and the problem is solved. Read history, and you will see that this is an old and proven solution.

As resources dwindle, there will be more war and more destruction. Sic transit in aeternitas.

In the past, this act was known as "prostration. In ancient times, this act was considered so abasing to an individual, that Greek and Romans used it to differentiate themselves from eastern "barbarians" such as the Persians. Like silken robes, it was considered a sign of deep degeneracy. However, both were adopted by the courts of the eastern Roman empire. The robes are still with us via the catholic church. Grovelling on the floor is still practiced by politicians seeking campaign "donations."

private cars are no longer a viable solution to our transport needs

Sho nuff, bring back horses. Fodder can be grown locally, no oil derivatives used to provide locomotion, and if worse comes to worse, you can eat them. Hides make good shoes and sports equipment. Best part: idle youth can be put to work shoveling horse shit instead of posting it on slashdot.

Proposals have been made in the past to pipeline water from the Yukon to California. Both overland and underwater pipelines have been considered. Water from the Columbia River has also been eyed as a water source for California. Local opposition killed both proposals, but the dream of all that water still brings out the pipeline builders and irrigation farmers.

Always nice to hear from those marvels of technological information and advanced reviewing over at 4 Chan. It is informative to see them doing something more useful than posting pix of their penises and of women they'll never get near to. I suspect they think a hex key is something to photograph after it has been inserted into someone's pooper. Right next to the sharpie. There are dozens of reviews available, both tech sites and in blogs from users for those who seek reliable information. The main drawback is price. This thing is built like a tank. It is durable, and has more adjustments than a 4 chan b/tard has perversions. If you don't really know why you continue to visit slashdot, you can spend more time at /b/ until something occurs to you, or whats left of your brains finish rotting away.
